Australia has some of the world's strictest biosecurity laws. The Australian Border Force (ABF) and Department of Agriculture inspect all incoming parcels for biosecurity risks. Prohibited or restricted items include fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds, soil, untreated wood, live plants, honey, meat (without specific permits), and products containing animal or plant material. Always declare all contents honestly. Non-declaration attracts significant fines and the shipment may be destroyed.

Under the India-Australia ECTA (Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement, effective December 2022), many Indian exports attract 0-5% customs duty in Australia. Without ECTA, standard MFN duty of 0-10% applies depending on the HS code. Australia's GST of 10% applies on shipments above AUD 1,000. Below AUD 1,000, no customs duty or GST is collected at the border. A biosecurity levy of AUD 10 per air parcel applies.

Packaged, commercially processed dry foods with clearly declared ingredients are generally allowed. Fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs, and products with plant or animal material are either prohibited or require AQIS permits and inspection. Spices in commercially sealed original packaging, dried lentils, packaged snacks, and biscuits are usually accepted. Always declare every food item on the customs form - Australia applies heavy penalties for non-declaration.

You need a commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value in AUD, packing list, Air Waybill, Certificate of Origin (India), and India-side Shipping Bill. For food or agricultural products, a Phytosanitary Certificate or biosecurity clearance from India's NPPO may be required. For medicines and medical devices, Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) registration at the Australia end is needed.
